THE VOLUNTEER FIRST.
TIE AMERICAS CUP WILL STAY ON
THIS SIDE OF THE OCEAN.


The Superiority of the Burgess S1oop
Plainly Demonstrated in both Races
Over the New York Course.
NEW YoRX Sept % Half the hattie
for the possession Of the Americas cup was
won yesterday evening when Gen faine's
handsome sloop yacht Volunteer defeated
the Scotch cutter Thistle l9m. 235,s over
the thirty eight mile course OF the New
York Yacht club.
NEW York. oct. 1.-Of all the races for
that ancient trophy-the Americas cup
none was ever sailed before under the con
ditions which prevailed at yesterdays race
And none was ever more fairly won than
the second race OF the series OF 1881, in
which ten Paine 5 new steel sloop Nolun
teer defeated the Scotch cutter Thistle,
over the outside course Of forty miles.
People who didn't see the race are sorry
they didn't, and the lucky ones who did
will remamber il rs long as they live. The
only regret they have is that the Thistle
was not able to show more seaworthy quail
tiles and thus make the contest a closer one
For a half hour after the start 1t was plain
that the Thistle was "A beaten Loaf, unless "A
huke or SHIFT Of wind should save her
from what promised to be an overwhelming
defeat In the twenty milo thrash TO wind
ward the centerboard told so heavily
against the keel that the cutter was beaten
fourteen minutes and forty nine seconds.
The Thistle redeemed herself little coming
home. before the wind, by gaining two
minutes and twenty six seconds on the
Volunteer.
The following is the official time of the
race:

GREAT DOCTRlNAL DISPUTE.
The New Theology to BIO Fought Before
tho American Board.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Oct. 3.-The inevi-
table doctrinal controversy which must be
fought out ut the annual meeting of the
American Board, to be held here the coming
week, will doubtless make the gathering the
most significant and important ecclesiastical
conference ever held in this country. Last
years meeting at Des Moines resulted in lit
tie more than a postponement OF the issue
The events of the past year-chie6y the
refusal of the board to send out mission
aries sympathizing with 1.-THE new theology"
have brought the matter to a crisis where
it must be met and decided.
Special trains will bring large numbers Of
people from the neighboring towns, and
Hartford people want an evening train to
carry them home after the meetings. The
principal meeting will be held in the city
hall, which will accommodate 1000 people
Provision is also made for overflow meet
ings in the evening at the First Congrega-
tional and State street Baptist church, both
near the city hail. The meetings begin on
Tuesday afternoon and continue until Fri
day morning.
